The video below is of Evan and I cutting the cake at our baby shower to find out the gender of our babies. So glad we have this on video, it was such an amazing experience!
Enjoy!
This is my first full week of not being a student, not being an intern, not being an employee,but rather taking care of myself and being a stay at home pregnant woman. I have cleaned the apartment about 25 times (and it still doesn't feel clean enough). I go for walks, groom the cats, grocery shop, cook, read books, stretch, volunteer with the twins group we belong to, and meet friends for coffee dates. Part of me is loving the free time, and part of me is going crazy. Being busy with one, if not two jobs, plus going to school is manageable and for me and is what I know how to do. This "relaxation" as they call it, is new territory for me, I'm almost afraid to enjoy it, and I'm sure Evan is dreading the day I say "Babe, I'm not sure I want to go back to work, maybe I should stay home with the kids." Don't worry, it's not in my blood to not be working :) One of the things I am enjoying the most is reading a book called Trauma Stewardsh...
(I had written this post a couple of months ago - and true to it's title, my "mom brain" forgot to edit and post it. So now you get it a couple months delayed) My best friend flew into town this past weekend to spend some time alone with me a few weeks before my wedding. We had planned to run a 5k, stay in a hotel one night so I could try to get out of the mom-zone-frame-of-mind, eat good food, drink good drinks and maybe smoke some shisha. She got into town on a Friday. That night, we packed up and headed to the hotel. When checking in, the woman looked up my name, she gave this head tilt and said, "hmm, you're not in our system." I said "Yes we are, look I have my confirmation here." she says, "oh yes maam, that confirmation is for tomorrow night." I said "No, for tonight." she says "Look, right here, it says for tomorrow night." Feeling like a first class idiot, I say "My mistake, do you have anythi...
As all of you parents know, coming up with dinner ideas to keep the fam excited, is hard to do. it is even harder if you have someone who has food restrictions, or, like me, is just trying to eat healthier. Almost every day, Evan says "what's for dinner?" and 1 of two things happen. I irritably reply "I don't know Evan, why don't you help me think of something?" Or, I say "I'm not sure, baby, let me find something that looks good." and then this leads into a 2 hour sort through Pinterest - the black hole of all websites, followed by a 3 store grocery shopping extravaganza to find all the right ingredients. The question came up the other night, and as I was milling about my "food fantasies" pin board, I found a Shepherds Pie that looked like a big warm hug. Big warm hugs of food are what make me pack on weight like a bear heading into hibernation, so I thought I'd try a lighter version. The good news is - it was AMA...
